How can I live, knowing I don't have your love?
I was a fool, and as most fools do, made mistakes most foul. I feared you, your strength, your love, the power you held over me, so strong. If you left, I'd die, so how could I let that happen? I was always weaker than weak, lowest of love, and did my heart's protection seek. No girl could replace you, not for lack of trying. God no! How I tried to find consolation elseplace, yet it did not exist. Jesus, redeemer, is alpha and omega, so must you become omega. Tears do not exist for me, for I am empty I should drown in my crying, yet I am dry. My life is gone from this world as so leaks my heart's blood. it breaks in two, one half turned to dust, one half to, with you, remain. Without you, am I unwhole, unreal, unloved. I blame you not, nor could I ever hurt you so for my heart does not permit such blasphemy. I feel nothing any longer, neither betrayed nor loved by you, my dear. I deserve not your trust nor can I ever expect it back. I was and am a wretch. What have I left to live for? Nothing but hope, nothing but dreams, naught but you.
